There are two triangles: a small one to the left and a big one, which includes the small one. They both have a common angle (the leftmost angle) and since (we can assume) the two columns meet the floor at right angles, they both have two equal angles. This means they are similar (AAA).

Let the distance of the base of the stairs to the tallest column be d.

Because matching sides of similar triangles are in the same ratio,
4 / 6 = d / (6 + 12)
4 / 6 = d / 18
(4 * 18) / 6 = d
d = 12

The answer is C

How do I find the Q1 and Q3?<br><br> 0,0,1,2,2,3,4,4,4,4,5,6,6,7,7
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Q1 = 2

Q3 = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we have

Q1 = (n + 1)/4 th term

where n is the number of terms

By the count, we have n as 15

Q1 = (15 + 1)/4

Q1 = 4th term

Looking at the arrangement, the 4th term is 2

For Q3

Q3 = 3(n + 1)/4 th term

n = 15

Q3 = 3 * 4 = 12th term

The 12th term is 6

So that is the 3rd quartile
